Confined, chained in a cavern since birth Forced to watch Only shadows flitting across the stone wall Coming alive, burning on Behind Giving off a dying light Darkness, isolation The only path we ever saw Our comfort zone Living in our fake image of the world We'll never know (never know) what lies beyond Never doubt those that came along Granted as the truth In our fragile minds Choose your illusion, the lie you're going to lead The lie you're going to lead And if one day you wake up - one day you will wake up Being cast out from the cave - cast out from the cave Eyes need time to adapt - eyes need time to adapt To the truth that comes with the sun By now you should know, our ignorant nature Choose your illusion, the lie we lead Confined, chained in a cavern since birth Forced to exist, restrained where we are left to be Where we are left to be We are left to be We are left to be We are left to be Numbing our way through this life, a habit we can't hide Becoming harder each day to leave the past behind And damned you'll be to make your way back to the depths of the cave And nothing is what it seems when you go down the road The sirens will call your name and leave you ripped and torn Cause ignorant men hate it when someone points to the sun Points to the sun When someone points to the sun The lie you're going to lead
